I was a Penguins fan before Crosby and will be a Penguins fan after Crosby.

His career is certainly not over at this point, but it is concerning.

I was a Pens fan before Lemieux, so I'm not jumping off by any means. This franchise has been blessed & cursed simultaneously. Blessed to have talents like Briere, Lemieux & Crosby. Cursed because all of them have had their careers shortened. In Briere's case, he was tragically killed after a car accident, but it seems that we have talented players come through here, but all of them have something bad happen. Jagr could be placed in here as well, but since he's a ******, I won't. It just seems as soon as we get a generational talent & the franchise turns a corner towards unprecedented stability, the rug gets pulled out. I feel bad for Sid, this has to be killing him.
